National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's NSÍ or HB that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for NSÍ and HB.

After failing to beat Vikingur here at við Løkin, NSÍ has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
